I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 699, Section 2.5, Chapter 38: The House of Silk and the Dollhouse

Ling Tong stepped forward and caught the falling figure, murmuring, "You've worked hard."

"Good morning," Mu Yegui said softly, slowly raising her head.

The golden-orange eyes met those familiar silver round eyes, and a faint smile appeared on their faces, as if they were finally relieved.

Xin Bai sat on the ground, wiping the blood off his body with a handkerchief, cursing angrily, "Why did you all get hit but me?! It hurts so much!"

Mu Yegui tilted his head in confusion, seemingly puzzled by Xin Bai's injury.

Ling Tong sighed helplessly and said, "Because you impulsively rushed in, no matter how you think about it, you have absolutely no chance of winning if you face us head-on. It's already a mercy that Lycia didn't kill you."

Mu Yegui listened to their conversation, but was stunned when he heard the name 'Lycia'.

“Lycia…” she murmured, lowering her eyes.

So, the temporary amnesia was because 'myself' had returned?
Time seems to be running out...

Xin Bai raised his hand and threw the blood-stained handkerchief at Ling Tong, saying, "Please treat meritorious people better. Who was it that tested your jealousy ability?"

Ling Tong dodged the handkerchief attack expressionlessly and apologized without any emotion, "I'm sorry, please forgive my disrespect."

"Hmph, that's more like it." Xin Bai snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Mu Yegui and asked, "When did you wake up?"

Mu Yegui didn't answer Xin Bai's question, but stared at him quietly. Just as Xin Bai was about to get angry from being stared at, Mu Yegui finally spoke, "Xin, do you hate me?"

Xin Bai was slightly taken aback. Although he didn't want to see Mu Yegui's face because of Mu Yin's matter, he had deliberately restrained his emotions. He just hadn't expected Mu Yegui to be so perceptive. However... this was his private matter, and it was better not to tell Mu Yegui. Since he didn't know, he should never know.

"No, it's just that you just beat me up badly, and I don't want to see your face for a while," Xin Bai said, turning his head to the side as if he were angry.

Fei, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up to remind them, "It's almost time."

Mu Yegui reached out and tugged at Ling Tong's sleeve, asking, "Can you tell me what the situation is like now?"

Ling Tong nodded and told Mu Yegui all the information he had obtained and the crisis they were currently facing.

Mu Yegui did not say anything after hearing this, but simply took out a white mask and handed it to Ling Tong.

"You can use it yourself." Ling Tong didn't take it, but just said indifferently.

"Do you know another way to use the Crown Prince's prop?" Mu Yegui looked up at Ling Tong and asked.

"Broken props?" Ling Tong frowned and subconsciously asked.

"That's right. When the user is not the person who used it, the item will be destroyed, but in a way, it can still unleash the last bit of power hidden within the item." This is something she herself cannot do, which is why she wanted to give it to Ling Tong to use.

Ling Tong gave Mu Yegui a deep look and reminded him, "Have you thought it through? Once the prop is broken, it cannot be repaired, and you will lose this crown prince prop forever."

"It's okay, it's broken, so be it. Anyway..." Mu Yegui didn't finish her last sentence. She just moved her lips and then put the mask into Ling Tong's hand.

Fei said, "The mission hasn't changed back." It's still the mission from the dream, which means that the king's orders are always the highest authority and no one can change them.

"...A bunch of gibberish. Luckily, the incomplete tasks are still showing up normally, otherwise it would be too much of a test of my memory," Xin Bai said irritably.

"I'm going to find the puppeteer. We agreed to give him something, and Miss Lily will be taking it with me. After you've dealt with the Spider Queen, come to the puppet storage room and take the wind-up key with you. You should have taken Miss Lily's key, Tong. It was gone when I got there." Mu Yegui straightened her skirt and said slowly.

“I understand. The Spider Mother taught me and Xin Bai.” Ling Tong nodded and said.

"Hey! I didn't say I was going with you!" Xin Bai suddenly turned to look at Ling Tong and retorted.

"Aren't you going?" Ling Tong asked back.

Xin Bai was silent for a few seconds, then snorted, got up and walked forward first.

"Are all felines so arrogant..." Ling Tong said, her words tinged with unease.

The four split into two groups and headed toward their respective destinations.

Fei followed behind Mu Yegui, but his gaze never left her back.

"About Miss Lily..." Fei hesitated, but finally spoke up.

The Power Stone is with Ling Tong, and so is the mask. Originally, they planned for one to use the mask and the other to use the Power Stone, but in reality, they were completely different.

“Dealing with Miss Lily doesn’t require using an item like the Power Stone. I have something much better, though the process might be a bit thrilling, since it involves that True Gem.” Mu Yegui shook his head and said slowly.

"The Real Gem?" Fei was taken aback. Wasn't he referring to the one inside the Spider Mother's body?

Mu Yegui glanced back at Fei, seemingly guessing his thoughts, and replied, "The one inside the Spider Mother's body is the true gem of lust, but it will soon be useless. It's better to get a new one than the useless one."

Suddenly, Mu Yegui stopped in her tracks. She looked up at the little girl walking slowly towards her not far away, and then went to meet her without hesitation.

Before Miss Lily could utter another word, Mu Yegui grabbed her forehead in a single glance.

With his cool, silver eyes watching the struggling Miss Lily quietly, Mu Yegui said softly, "Miss Lily, if you behave and come with me, I will let you go."

Miss Lily stared in horror at Mu Yegui, who was holding her forehead in her hand as if it would be crushed at any moment, so she dared not move at all.

Mu Yegui tilted his head, looking at Miss Lily's terrified expression. His beautiful face showed no extra emotion, but his soft voice spoke extremely terrifying words, "Actually, all we need to do is crush Miss Lily, but... let Qiong handle it herself." After all, simply crushing Miss Lily wouldn't be helpful for the subsequent dungeon walkthrough; on the contrary, it would do more harm than good.

Fei: "..." Crush? ?
One brute-force solution: Crush Miss Lily directly (Darling, you've learned bad habits from Xiao Yin).

Mu Yegui's statement about the Lust Gem, while seemingly foreshadowing, also reveals her complete understanding of the matter. Not only does she not intend to stop it, she even welcomes it. After all, Urias is her apostle; if Urias becomes Lust, then she will control two of the Seven Deadly Sins Lords: Envy and Lust.

Mu Yegui's goals have always been clear and unambiguous, and she is never swayed by personal feelings (although she doesn't have any personal feelings anyway).
